DevID contest for NFotM ends: Wed May 14, 2008, 11:59 EDT

OLDER NEWS

So, we have just recently hired a new Membership manager. she is young and energetic and is really excited about learning more about fractals!! And her devID is *SimplySteff!! She isn’t a fractalist by art-trade, but she is anxious and willing to learn all about the art form. She is also excited about what this club is all about, and that is why she voiced interest in helping however she could, so i suggested to her that instead of just being a ‘watcher’ as she isn’t a fractalist (yet ) that she could be a staffer and really get her hands dirty with helping those that are fractalists to improve their art form by way of encouragement from our MM!! So go to her profile and wish her well in her new position everyone…Welcome aboard Steff!!

**Sllight EDIT: Please congratulate our first promoted Newb…*n8iveattitude1!! Her art has greatly improved in the short amount of time she has been rendering her fractal art and so it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you our newest SENIOR FRACTALIST here on =NFotM!!

Here’s the task: design the club ID that will be used for six months, creds will go to the winning design and designer and immortalized as the winning entry and designer in the clubs blog found here:
Fractastically Speaking:
Other prizes and such will be determined later, and will be updated here, so keep watching…and GET DESIGNING ALREADY lol!!! We want to see what you can come up with…be sure the design bears in mind the attitude and focus of the club: promotion of new artists and mutual community sharing of skill and talents for new and experienced artists alike. ID must be made in a fractal rendering program listed in the submission guidelines found on our shoutboard. Deadline is set for 14 May 11:59 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time-American); the staff will then vote on their top three at which time will then be put up for club vote from the 21 -31 of May. Winning entry will be revealed 1 June, and prizes awarded. Good luck all and HAVE FUN!!
